Ok, last run of the night to DFW around 9:45 PM last night. I work as a shuttle driver from a hotel in the DFW airport area. I have been working there since July, since being called called back after being furloughed back in April.
Pick up a no more 30 year old white guy with no luggage, except a computer case, go to the next call, and it is a white couple, and then I get a call for another pick up, and it is a white guy 35 and a 3 year old boy.
So I go back on my normal route back, and they are doing road construction, so I do go by my usual shortcut detour routes and they are blocked and this is when the 30 year develops a cough.
The 30 year old with the computer case was wearing a mask, but could not tell if he was faking.
cough cough cough cough cough cough
I blame the wet sidewalk for causing the rain.
True. Listen this has never been a pandemic. It is an RNA virus which means it has and will stay endemic. You are going to get this, sooner or later. The longer we mask and distance the less herd immunity. I am not sure this masking and lockdown didnt transform it into the endemic because its an RNA virus.. I will say, the treatments or lack thereof is likely the real cause of death. I have experienced very sick folks in their 80s and 90s get it.. suffer, but recover. The media just talks about the healthy 30 yr old that died.
A vax for an RNA virus will not be effacious due to the nature of an RNA virus. I just hope to get it before January because I detest sick, and not a cold dark winter fan.
Not sure why I havent gotten it, unless there is some immunity from the 70s bird flu that I probably got as a wild child of the dirt.
Living in fear will induce epigenetic changes and you will never be the same soul. Go live, laugh love. Suffer with your friends and family and carry one anothers burdens. It is our heritage to drive in through hardship.
Martin Lewis (of the Martin Lewis money show, a British program) said on one of his shows that coughing in public has replaced farting in public as the new number one faux pas.
Maybe the guy was raised ‘old school’; taught to cough to conceal a fart rather than farting to conceal a cough as is customary nowadays... :)
I dont know about you, but if theyre going to force me to wear a mask, Im going to cough my head off to get my moneys worth.
The amount of incorrect information in your opinion post posing as factors is rather breathtaking.
You better hope it was Covid. If it was pneumonic plague you’re in trouble.
ONE thing I already know is that people will not return to what we were ... or at least not return completely or easily.
Parents have had enough of this "home schooling" to be actively complaining their children are learning nothing.
Law suits will open when teachers observing a private home during cyber school and feel compelled to notify child services (f'rinstance) and etc.
Yeah OK, Ive heard anecdotes before but they usually go somewhere and have something to say.
From my reading of the story, a guy coughs and it causes all sorts of roads to be shut down. A cautionary tale.
I am the disappoint.
Dang.
All these years and I never knew that.
Could be that people cough. I’ve been coughing my entire life. And I even coughed this morning.
The good news is that if the 30 year old has covid there is only a 1 in 100 chance of dying. Compare that to the 1 in 103 chance of dying in an automobile accident (that includes your shuttle van).
I think you will be ok.
Master of Reality! What a blast from the past! Thanks!!
The first rock concert I ever saw was Sabbath’s tour for that album, at Asbury Park’s Convention Hall in ‘71.
This one time in band camp...
That's one of your "most-interesting" experiences, huh?
Then I can only imagine what your "only moderately-interesting" experiences might sound like.
You're a cabbie, right? I thought that cabbies were supposed to have interesting stories to tell! I thought that they had a reputation for being real raconteurs.
Regards,
I agree. Was stunned at the fear in our church community when we went back. No one wants to believe that God is in control n we should just live life.
